vesting is all over with good yield. This
vicinity has been troubled great deal this
season by horse thieves. About four

the Battleford mail route, had two horses
stolen, and about six weeks ago another,
and last Thursday night N. F. Freeman, the
Dominion Land Surveyor, had his team
stolen and no tidings has yet been received
from them. The thieves are supposed to be
half breeds, and the stock run across the
boundary. The cattle are doing splendid

became infatuated with the dusky Juno,
and she in part returned his admiration,
and accepted him as her lover. He has
frequented gambling hel!s since be came
here, never ihaving. go far as known, done
an honest days work. and what is strange,
his infatuation for the woman increased
with time instead OF diminishing. Among
the visitors at her bagnio was q young
private belonging to the company at tho
Fort. He has lately shown the woman
some attentions, aud the favor with which
they were received by her has on moro
than one occasion led to a scene between
THE WOMAN AND HER LOVER
that has by miracle only avoided ending
in bloodshed. Yesterday morning the
dusky cyprian hired a rig in town and
drove down to the Fort where the gay Lo-
thario. who had latest turned her 6ckls
fancy, was waiting her. They drove out to
we'll known road house where they retired
to q room and spent the afternoon in
carousing. The lover, hearing Of her having
left town in rig, discovered that she had
taken the direction of the Fort, and sur
missing that the private was basking in her
smiles, procured a navy Colts and
STARTED OFF IN PURSUIT.
He found they had gone to the resort IN

search were running things wide open,
and the infuriated lover was standing be-
side the pair before they were aware Of his
presence. Without an instant's warning
he placed the weapon at the mans breast
and shot him through the heart. The
report had hardly rung out ere
it was followed by second and

Especial to The Miner by the Rocky Noun
tain Telegraph. IA political picnic was
held at Morris, under the auspices OF the
Winnipeg Workingmens' Conservative AS
sociation. the object being to support the
Federal Government in opposition to the
construction OF the Red River Valley Rail-
road. It was about the worst place that
could be chosen. as all the people Of that
neiahborhood were intensely favorable to
the provincial cause, and active prepara-
tions were made to rotten egg certain pro-
vincial speakers on the unpopular side.
These, however, failed to turn up. as well
as all provincial and several federal minis
tiers who had been invited. Strong previn-
cial men who got mp declared that they
would build the road or bust the confeder-
alton. A man named Geon then got on
the platform with bludgeon and cleared
of the speakers, chairman and everybody
else. He cursed the whole gathering. and
they hooted back at him, and free fight was
with difficulty prevented. The effect OF
this demonstration has been to boom the
PROVINCES cause more than ever.

A Great Singer.

In one of the many attractive environs
of London, Madame Jenny Lind Gold
schmidt lives to-day, passing her old age
in most peaceful, happy manner. She
is in her Goth year, but is still youthful
in feeling and intensely interested in
every musical event. Among the great
est of the achievements witnessed by the
people of Vienna was that accomplished
by herself, and it must be source Of
great happiness to her to recall her tri
umph in the Austrian capital. To-day
she passes quietly in and out of her home,
unnoticed except by those who know hei
worth as friend and neighbor and
greet her with respectful Difference.
Forty years ago every civilized country il
the world knew of her wonderful pow
ers and was ready to do her homage.
She could not pass froa her hotel door
without encountering crowds, who would
stand hours to see her. Probably nc
woman upon the stage ever held precise
ly her position. There may have beer
quite as much curiosity to see other fla
nous singers and crowds have followed
them, but the people of two worlds re
spected Jenny Lind, and the old feeling
has not died out. She is still the grea
artist and no one has dethroned her il

heard her years ago London Musica

SIFTINGS.

A true friend is the rarest of blessings.
What is joyl A sunbeam between
wo clouds.
A good word is an easy obligation
but not to speak i'll requires only our
silence, which costs us nothing.
Every day and hour we are sowing the
seeds of character, which one day will
astonish even ourselves by blOssoming
forth in actions of which we had not
supposed ourselves capable.
Age is not to be feared; the older a
good and healthy person grows the
greater becomes his capacity to enjoy the
deeper, sweeter and more noble kinds OF
happiness which the world affords.
Everything which thwarts justice,
weakens trusts, creates suspicion and af-
flicts the innocent, bears heavily upon
every member of the community. Its
injury is not confined to the immediate
victims. 1t extends to all; its disgrace
is not limited to the ofTender-it falls
upon all within its sphere.
For want of sef-restraint many men
are engaged all their lives in fighting
with difficulties of their own making,
and rendering success impossible by theil
own cross-grained ungentleness; whilst
others, who may be much less gifted
make their way easily and steadily, and
achieve success by simple patience,
equanimity and self-control

The Antiquity of ROnes,

Before the beginning of the historical
period considerable skill in ropemaking
had been acquired, so that it must be
classed among the oldest of the arts.
The existing relics of the ancient Egyp-
tians include sculptures showing the pro
cess of manufacture practiced more than
1000 years ago, while the oldest records
of that people represent well made ropes
of great strength. Flax and the tibres
of the date tree were employed for these
ropes, but grasses and the hides of ami
mails were probably among the first ma
terials used.

Each day brings to us all some oppor-
